If you would like to see the Drill Hall restored and returned to the people of Sidmouth as part, or not, of an overall redevelopment of Port Royal then it is very important that you complete a questionnaire and get involved in the process.

Sidmouth Sea Fest was created as part of the campaign to save and restore the Drill Hall at Port Royal, Sidmouth www.sidmouthdrillhall.comand bring it into community ownership. By creating an annual event on the Ham at Port Royal the core aim of Sea Fest was to gather people around the Drill Hall to enjoy and participate in a festival of arts, music, theatre and creativity with food from local and other producers and suppliers. This might create an insight into what could happen week in week out within a restored Drill Hall and build the campaign around the building with an increasing number of local and wider partners.

Sidmouth Sea Fest was founded as part of the EU funded ‘TourFish’ project that connected coastal towns in Arnemuiden, Holland, Brittany, Flanders, Hastings and Sidmouth. The event was written into the project as one of the key outcomes for Sidmouth. Core funding for Sea Fest was provided by TourFish funding.

We shall have a much smaller event this year, again taking place on the Ham, Sidmouth. It will run from 11am til 5pm on Saturday 7th May 2016 and have many of the old favourites plus lots of new things to enjoy.

Check out the flyer for some of the things that will be happening.

More info up here soon. Drop us a line with any questions. We hope to see you there!!
